Good afternoon,
I looked at a nice 1972 2002tii today. The motor had a knock when it was started that went away when it was fully warmed up. My concern is a rod knock although the owner said it was the timing chain making noise. Anyone familiar with this?

2002tii is a vehicle that should get more valuable over time. IF body is GOOD then get brave and buy it. Engine knocks in a veh that old is indication of need for rebuild. It is a 4cyl M10 with K-Jetronic. Not that expensive. Should be a nice drive.

Actually the injection used inn the 2002Tii is a mechanical system, made by Kugelfischer, and while quite reliable need to be set up by a trained individual, and it is a bit more expensive than the latter Bosch systems. New injectors go for over $400, a rebuild of the K-fisch can be in excess of $600.
